Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 92-run knock went in useless as persistent rain washed out the deciding third and remaining ODI between England and South Africa in Leeds, with the sequence honours shared 1-1.

South Africa had received the primary ODI in England after posting the best whole within the nation in ODIs. In the second, the tables had been reversed as they succumbed to 83 all out, their joint-lowest whole in England. With the sequence within the stability, there was all to play for within the decider, however sadly it was to not be because the climate determined to spoil the celebration.

South Africa had opted to bat first at Headingley and regardless of the early motion with the brand new ball, England could not make inroads like within the earlier recreation. While Janneman Malan edged one to a backward level, Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen rebuilt in a constructive method.

De Kock hit three fours off David Willey within the eighth over to enter fifth gear and by no means relented since, racing previous his half-century and into the nineties when the rain stopped play for the second time. What may have been his 18th ODI hundred was to not be as he remained unbeaten on 92 not out when the sport was referred to as off. South Africa had been 159/2 from 27.4 overs.

The two international locations now meet in three Twenty20 internationals, beginning in Bristol on Wednesday.

Brief Scores: South Africa 159/2 in 27.4 overs (De Kock 92*; Willey 1-19) vs England – No Result
